A Type 24 (Deluxe bus) built from 1964 till 1967. The window count is tallied
like this:
2 windshields (pre-1967)
2 front door windows (the wing wings and sliding windows all count as 1)
4 windows down the left side of the bus
4 windows down the right side
1 in the rear hatch
8 skylights in the roof (4 each side)
2+2+4+4+1+8 = 21

A Type 24 (Deluxe bus) built in 1963 or earlier. The window count is tallied
like this:
2 windshields (pre-1967)
2 front door windows (the wing wings and sliding windows all count as 1)
4 windows down the left side of the bus
4 windows down the right side
2 curved windows total on the rear corners (1963 and earlier only)

Refers to the number of mounting points used
to hold the VW emblem on the top of the front hood. 3-tab hoods were
used after January, 1961. The term tab is actually a misnomer in this
case as the emblem is mounted via posts. The mounting portion on the
decklid was flat for a short time, then a raised circle was added to offset
the emblem from the hood.

Refers to the number of seating positions in a VW Bus. A 8-seater can
be a walk-through Bus with a full length
middle seat. 2 seats up front, 3 seats in the middle, and 3 seats in
the rear. Or it can be a bench front
seat with a short middle seat. 3 seats up front, 2 seats in the
middle, and 3 seats in the rear. VW literature also refers to a Bus
with 3 full bench seats as an 8-seater on occasion, specifying that the
front seat held only 2 adults. Confused yet?
